“After a nice hike down to the cove, this was a welcoming and cozy spot to grab a coffee and soak up the beautiful California coastal atmosphere of Terranea Hotel and Resort. I've stayed at the resort and played some golf there as well. Most trips include a visit to Sea Beans. Staff is A+.“

“Such a sweet and kind establishment“

“The food is amazing. But what I like the most is the atmosphere. We decided to seat outside. Lovely cute chairs, quiet and breathy. Same deal for the inside. Food was tasty and portions very good in size. We got savory crepe - Crepe heaven special with egg, turkey and cheese. Very good balance of stuffing and crepe. The crepe itself is delicious. Not too dry or chewy. Sweet crepe was loaded with fruits, we’ve opted for condensed milk instead of Nutella. Two crepes to split between two people. We also got coffee and coffee was not bad. I am very picky with coffee but their coffee was surprisingly good! Highly recommend! Pictured strawberry banana crepe with condensed milk.“

“My family and i stopped for lunch. The chorizo omlett is delish. Great service. My toddler loved the waffles.“

“Cappuccino, espresso, croissant, cornetto, are my favorites, but everything is fresh and delicious! Service and atmosphere is great! Alessandro got it right! Bravo!!“

“I was looking for a bagel spot because my normal spot was closed. The shop is small but it was easy to order early morning (7am) on a weekday.

There are several pastry options - I got the Sourdough bagel with a yummy salmon cream cheese!

It was a good bagel! Not the best bagel but I'd go back to try another!“

“Flavors that never get old. Tasty on every bite!“

“Wish we had this amazing cafe back home. The menu? There were so many appetizing choices, it was hard to choose! 😊The food is super yummy and the people who run it are so sweet!“

“Además de lo delicioso que estaban los Shucos y los Chai tea que disfrutamos el ambiente es muy agradable y su personal muy amigable. Sí lo recomiendo“

“I came in wanting a caramel macchiato and that wasn’t in the menu but one of the kind baristas was willing to make it and it came out amazing! He was willing to accommodate to our wants! Thank you so much and I’ll definitely be a returning customer :)“

“A delicious made from scratch falafel in a great sandwich. Friendly staff. Since my first review I have returned and tried their Chicken and Cheese sandwich. Even better then the falafel sandwich! It is a chicken salad sandwich with lots of yummy chicken salad and Swiss cheese. I had their regular French fries 🍟 Very tasty. Again the staff was very friendly and helpful. Did I mention the tasty chicken?😋😋“

“The perfect escape from a hot Cali day!!!
The two employees who were working behind the counter, were slammed with orders, but never once did either show any frustration or bad attitude. Customer service was top notch.
My husband and I ordered the large shaved ice with 2 fresh fruits, we got the strawberry and mango!!! Super yum!!! 😋“

“So much to say… but ultimately, Colossus in Long Beach is WONDERFUL!! The BEST BLT I’ve ever had. Because they use high quality ingredients! Their Soft-Scrambled Egg Toast is divine. And everything is beautifully fresh. I love their country bread, baguettes, olive cumin bread, dinner rolls… but I have so much more to try Their pastries are scrumptious: Pecan Sticky Bun, Cardamom Bun, Kouign Amann, Financier, Marzipan Croissant, Sea Salt Brownie, OG Chocolate Chip Cookie. It’s all amazing and I’ve brought a number of friends to show off this incredible Belmont Shore Bakery. On Friday nights Colossus serves pizza into the night. Again, high-quality ingredients make their pizzas delicious. Plus they have interesting and unique combinations. They are tip free because their starting wage is $21/hr. Great customer service. Cute little space with some lovely specialty spice mixes, food items, merch, and wine. Indoor and outdoor seating, and they serve tasty coffees and teas. Colossus feels like a little bit of Europe on 2nd Street.“

“Great food and , great customer service. You feel like home. Love it“

“cute local coffee shop, friendly & great recommendations“

“First time at this Cafe. Super nice atmosphere the people are great! My dad always says “that’s what makes a place good”. The food was very good (sorry no pics) but I ordered the Wildflower Two’s (eggs over easy w/ham and potatoes (not greasy) and rosemary garlic toast. Our server Andrea was super nice! Reasonable prices and the best 80’s music ever!! Nice little gem 💎 they also have outside seating with a super nice breeze!!“

“We found this place by accident and decided to try some açaí right away and I’m so glad we did. I have to say. if you’re looking for a real Brazilian superfood açaí experience, you’re going to love this place. It’s one of the best açaí bowls I’ve had outside of Brazil. The staff is very friendly, and on top of that, you can choose unlimited toppings. Highly recommend!“

“This location can be a little confusing as it is next to a church, but they have a parking lot in back. They also have two dosages, one is like a lounge and the other is the actual restaurant
The service is wonderful and I even received a hug from the owner.
I had thecombo pho with brisket, beg round and tendon. It was so delicious. The broth was clean and not oily. A nice large bowl, almost overflowing. A really nice plate of veggies, including culantro.

My brother had the chicken porridge. It too came in a large bowl with a nice plate of veggies too.

Upon sitting you're served a nice large cup of iced jasmine tea. I also ordered the iced coffee with sweetened condensed milk. Delicious!
We are definitely returning.“

“Great little spot for a morning coffee. The cappuccino was perfectly made, and they have a really nice selection of fresh pastries. It has a cozy, relaxed atmosphere, making it a perfect place to start the day. The staff is always friendly and quick“

“Per usual 917 did not disappoint. The experience is Always pleasurable. The menu offers a variety of tasteful options which evolves according to season, along with keeping some staple items such an their amazing burger. The service is always exceptional, efficient and friendly. We look forward to our next experience.“

“We stumbled upon this little café by chance while driving from the airport — and what a hidden gem it turned out to be! I honestly envy the office workers who get to have this place nearby every day.

It's a small café, but everything they serve is top-tier culinary art — the sandwiches, coffee, and salads are absolutely delicious. And the soups… just wow! We tried the pumpkin and broccoli soups — both incredibly tasty and nourishing. My 7-year-old son usually won’t touch broccoli, but he loved their broccoli soup and ate it with great pleasure.

We've only been there a couple of times over the past year, but it’s definitely on our list for every future trip to Los Angeles. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Such stellar service every time!
I love stopping by for the best acai bowls and smoothies while on the pier. They also have wide variety of snacks for grab n go. Service is always lightning fast and friendly.
Would give it way more stars if google could let me :)
Highly recommend coming by trying their menu!“

“Martha’s is one of my favorite spots steps away from the beach with TERRIFIC EGGS BENEDICT & CHICKEN 🍲 SOUP! Service is friendly & efficient!“

“A rare find in San Pedro. The atmosphere is quiet and grounded—a true sanctuary for anyone looking to escape the noise. The staff is professional and welcoming, and the food is consistently satisfying and well-prepared. It’s the perfect spot for a calm, intentional breakfast. I’ll definitely be returning with my family.“

“Gum Tree Shop & Café is a small café and shop just a short walk from the Strand in Hermosa Beach. It’s been around for a while and feels very much like a local neighborhood spot.

Parking was easy right out front, which made the visit even more convenient. The café has outdoor seating, and you can sit with your coffee and feel the ocean air, with a steady flow of people and dogs passing by.

We ordered at the counter and had coffees, avocado toast with fruit, and a breakfast burrito. The food was fresh and straightforward, and the service was friendly and efficient.

The attached shop is a nice addition, with a thoughtful selection of home goods, cookbooks, and small gifts — an easy place to pick up something for a birthday or housewarming.

It does get a bit chilly in the morning, so bringing a light layer helps. Overall, a reliable Hermosa Beach stop for a casual breakfast or coffee after a walk along the beach.“

“Muy ricos 🤑 desayunar en ese lugar 💯👍🏼“

“They have the most authentic crepe I’ve had in the states!! The owner is a nice young French gentleman, and his staff are the sweetest!
I work near by and I’m there pretty much daily, bad for the calories but good for the heart haha❤️“

“Went too FrenchTouch today in DEL AMO Mall !!!!!! Stop whatever you're doing and please come by! If you have never visited you are only missing out on the most delicious crepes ever made. Please Ask for ALIYAH as she is highly requested for her creative design and presentation. Leaving you with a Wow!!!! Unbelievable!!!! Ohhh My Goodness Experience!!!!“

“Love their ground beef tacos delicious!!!“

“Croque madame, croissant ou chocolate, chocolate ou lavande, soup de’oignon“

“The worker was very nice, and the store was clean. We got the Oreo cheesecake mousse, and the tres leches cake slice. We didn't care for the mousse too much, but that was personal preference (not that it was bad). The tres leches cake was where it was at! We both loved it! It was light and balanced, not sopping with milk like some places do. That being said, I think if you're looking for a traditional tres leches slice you might be disappointed. This was more like a traditional, light, white cake. It was delicious though!“

“lovely and cute cafe. will definitely go back for another boba or ube ice cream. 😊“

“Their 2 bags for $30 is a good deal. They also shipped it out quickly and we received it quickly. Excited to try it.“

“Delicious food and beautiful decor!“

“One of our favorite boba 🧋 tea shop. Most of the time we order online and just pick up. parking is always a hassle in this plaza. Always some reason it’s very crowded but after our online order, never took more than 10 minutes friendly Service.“

“I’m basing my review on two different cake donuts from two different visits….One was chocolate with vanilla icing, the other crumb-top—both of excellent donuts. The cafe also serves coffee, breakfast, sandwiches, but I came for the donuts.

The cafe itself is very clean, good music playing, booth tables lining the windows, upgraded with a digital menu board. Nothing fancy, yet nicely upgraded interiors with tasteful finishes. It’s a perfect traditional Los Angeles donut shop that has invested in offering a comfortable cafe experience with above average food.

Next time I’m ordering coffee and more donuts, maybe a sandwich, and bringing something to read and stay a while.“

“First visit and was not dissatisfied. Heard about the place through friends and the Yelp reviews backed up the claims. Nice gem of a place… I had the Protein Scramble and my wife had the Waffles! All the food was amazing and made to order🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 A comfortable lounge environment, tasty food, and great staff making sure we have everything we need. Definitely will be heading back…….with friends and family…“

“Delicious food and amazing view“

“Better tasting boba compared to the location in cerritos and delicious macroons. I got the specialty smootie milk and honey with mini boba and egg pudding. It tastes amazing. I wanted to try the Nutella and green tea macroons however they were sold out. I settled for the fruity pebble and I loved it.“

“A delicious made from scratch falafel in a great sandwich. Friendly staff. Since my first review I have returned and tried their Chicken and Cheese sandwich. Even better then the falafel sandwich! It is a chicken salad sandwich with lots of yummy chicken salad and Swiss cheese. I had their regular French fries 🍟 Very tasty. Again the staff was very friendly and helpful. Did I mention the tasty chicken?😋😋“

“Absolutely friendly staff. The owner/manager, Chris, reminds me of the actor August Schellenburg who played Randolph in the movie "Free Willy." I absolutely love their Poke Plate 🍽️ with Mixed Greens! That & a banana 🍌 strawberry 🍓 smoothie 🥤is my favorite go to meal! I give it a 10 Star ⭐✨ Rating!“

“Very pleasant staff and greeted with a huge smile. Food was fast and good at a reasonable price.

As an update, we actually came back or breakfast and we were equally impressed with the food (combo plate & bagel sandwich) with good coffee. Would definitely choose this over the over priced cafe at Holiday Inn. It is only 10 min walk from Holiday Inn“

“I have been going here for over 45 years the food just as good then as it is now once you eat at Isacc you’ll be hooked for life.“

“I have breakfast here whenever I am in town. Amazing food“

“From out of town. Nice surprise breakfast spot.“

“I wanna say great service. Chloe greeted me with a smile. Not only that she gave me the choices of the type of chocolate to get for my mocha. So refreshing to have such wonderful service. God bless you, Chloe. God bless clutch Coffee...“

“Delicious food and beautiful decor!“

“Its unfortunate that probably the only people who will eat here are travelers on their way to Catalina because it truly is worth a drive for a great meal! Who'd a thought a breakfast burrito and an omelette would surprise anyone but that's exactly what it did. Both were delicious! I even heard my Fiancé say "Tjis is the best omelette i've ever had!" So there you have it. And did I mention the prices were extremely reasonable? Actually quite low for the quality! Have a bite on the water and enjoy everything about this little bistro!“

“The best tasting food and best ingredients for the menu items. Fred“
